“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is not simply that past, forgotten, unconsciously perceived events will be put together in a new way and organized under a new heading, but that in that past (now not perceivable), the entire bodily response to seemingly past events will change.

You are now rooted in your creaturehood, graced to perceive through your body a unique living experience. So when I mention techniques that will allow you to perceive other fields of reality beside your own, I want you to realize that these should be used to enhance your enjoyment of that creaturehood, and to enrich your sensual as well as spiritual expression.

On a grand scale this rarely occurs in such a way that you perceive it — and you had better underline that whole last part.

[...] You do not perceive the atoms or molecules that compose them; so in the same way, but in a different manner of speaking, events seem “solid” as tables do.

[...] Now you are beginning to perceive what we will, for now, call biological realities in other spheres of reality. You are making transitions from the forms that you know, and the forms that you are used to perceiving, so that you can perceive other forms with which you presently are not acquainted. [...]

What you call dimensions represent states in which reality is perceived. You perceive reality in three dimensions, and you have a glimpse of reality in a fourth dimension. [...] As they are projected into your system however, they are only perceived in terms of matter.

The inhabitants of some of these systems can perceive you. All of these inhabitants of various systems cannot perceive you however. [...]

[...] They can perceive you, but you as a rule cannot perceive them. [...]

The information was perceived through the inner senses, and though Ruburt is not consciously aware of the dream’s importance the inner self has assimilated the knowledge. [...]

Consciousness is a way of perceiving the various dimensions of reality. [...] The physical senses allow you to perceive the three-dimensional world, and yet by their very nature they can inhibit the perception of other equally valid dimensions. [...]

[...] It correlates information that is perceived not through the physical senses, but through other inner channels. It is the inner perceiver of reality that exists beyond the three-dimensional. [...]

[...] Your physical senses permit you to perceive the exterior forms to which you then react, but your physical senses to some extent force you to perceive reality in this manner, and the inside vitality within matter and form is not so apparent.

[...] Your physical senses then allow you to perceive this camouflage, for they are attuned to it in a highly specialized manner. [...]

[...] You perceive a certain event as present. [...] You have only tuned into a portion of it physically, though; that past event continues to exist with its own “future,” which you may or may not perceive, according to which probable action you pull into your next experiences of actuality.

(Pause at 10:27.) The overall private experience that you perceive forms your world, period. [...]

[...] They jump over the nerve endings too quickly, and physically you cannot perceive or experience them as yet.

In such a way the cells retain their memory, though you do not perceive it, and the body is aware of so-called future occurrences, though as a rule you do not consciously sense this. [...]

[...] You form this and then perceive the world, but your viewpoint is very small and the garden you perceive very intimate. [...]

[...] Psychological time is your best method for perceiving these actualities.

[...] The atoms and molecules have a pulsating nature that you do not usually perceive, so what seems to you to be a continuous atom or molecule is, instead, a series of pulsations that you cannot keep track of.

[...] You only perceive it as continuous; your perceptive mechanisms are not equipped to detect the pulsations. [...]

The symbols can come together or fly apart, can be perceived separately or as a unity. [...] These symbols can be translated and perceived in many terms; as a series of notes for example, as a combination of senses, as a series of images. At various stages of consciousness you will perceive the symbols in different terms. [...]

[...] Odors therefore have a visual reality, and, as you know, visual data can also be perceived in terms of other sense perceptions.

[...] Not only are your thoughts apparent through telepathic communications, for example, but without your conscious awareness they also form what you may call pseudo-images “beneath” the range of physical matter as you normally perceive it in some cases, or “above” this same range.

[...] They are the given “natural data,” the raw material of creativity in the realities that you help seed but do not perceive.

Again, the events that you perceive come packaged in time sequences, so that you are used to a certain kind of before-and-after order. [...] It may seem that psychological events have the same kind of structure, since after all you do perceive them in time.

[...] One so-called event, therefore, may be a container of many others, while you only perceive its exterior face — and you call that face a symbol.

The other events within the symbol are as legitimate as the one event you perceive.

Such experience then convinces you more thoroughly of the reality you perceive until a vicious circle is formed, in which all events mirror beliefs so perfectly that no leeway seems to appear between the two.

[...] You only perceive the portions of them that are apparent within your own system of reality.

[...] The three-dimensional system is like a shadow of realities that you do not perceive. [...]

[...] Now I am telling you that your own dreams and thoughts and mental actions appear to the inhabitants of other systems like the stars and planets within your own; and those inhabitants do not perceive what lies within and behind the stars in their own heavens.

[...] They will only perceive the shape and form that your own mental acts, thoughts and dreams take within their own system.

[...] (To Sue again.) For if your own fears for the individual become involved, then it is more difficult for you to perceive the reality. So, in your mind, step aside a few more steps, give yourself the suggestion that you will perceive the situation from another perspective. [...] You will perceive them particularly because of the associations involved. [...]

[...] The journey into consciousness and reality that can be perceived by you can be perceived by no other. The particular vision of truth that can be received by you can be perceived by no other. [...]

[...] Now only your fears, but those that you are perceiving, so therefore, let your own go first. [...]

[...] You perceive realities of which the physical form is aware, but the ego is unaware. [...]

[...] Where motion is not perceived. Beyond such levels, the motion is perceived again and the period of peace seems over. [...] In that activation, however, it achieved, finally, a level of seeming peace where you do not perceive it, but in which it still exists. There is also a reason why you perceived it in the particular room that you did, you see.

(To me:) Now, you remember, because of one of your experiences and something I said in a session—or, rather, another portion of me said in a session —having to do with the fact that Seth II, if you could perceive him, would be as small as a brown nut. (To Rob:) And so you were perceiving a core of energy that radiated outward and infringed upon this reality—intruded upon it: hence, the fragmented area about it, you see, and the seemingly jagged effect.

Now, the energy here last night was strong enough so that it could be picked up very easily, but you perceived its approach. [...] Before it was here, in your terms, you were aware of its approach and began to prepare yourself to perceive it in whatever fashion you could.

Now, such a vision is not only something that you see that intrudes upon this reality, but also something that has its effects upon this reality, and often effects that you do not perceive. You perceive the appearance of the image, but its other effects escape you. [...]

[...] In a large sense he begins to train himself to focus only upon what you would call physical reality, though he still partially perceives other fields that you do not accept. [...]

For some time he literally perceives many levels of reality at once, and part of what seems to be disorientation is simply the result of early confusion with so much data. [...]

[...] Cells are not just responsive to light because this is the order of things, but because an emotional desire to perceive light is present.

It is not that you cannot devise instruments to perceive these units. [...]

[...] It is the part of the identity which perceives. [...]

[...] This ability to perceive and react to unlimited simultaneous events is a basic characteristic of each whole self or entity. [...]

[...] I will try to put this as simply as possible: There is within his psyche what amounts to a transparent dimensional warp that serves almost like an open window through which other realities can be perceived, a multidimensional opening that has to some extent escaped being clouded over by the shade of physical focus.

The physical senses usually blind you to these open channels, for they perceive reality only in their own image. [...]

The ego can perceive only certain portions of any given moment point or present instant, and it sees the moment point indeed as if it were one of a series of lights that approaches the ego from one side, and passes him by on the other side. The ego perceives this moment point, then, very much as if it were a flat cardboard-like object which comes, is flashed before him, and disappears.

[...] These dimensions may be traveled through; but they may not be traveled through by the ego, for the ego can only perceive those dimensions which it is physically equipped to see, or perceive.

The identity may, and will, move out of its dimension into another, and it therefore has within it the innate capacity to perceive more than it is allowed to perceive at any given point by the limitations set upon it.

[...] Dunne does leave intervening areas between dimensions which may be perceived by an observer from a neighboring dimension, but all in all his serial selves are to some large degree prisoners of those dimensions in which they exist.

[...] This action-event will then affect all other events, spiral inward and outward in all possible dimensions, and may be perceived in these dimensions in quite a different form from its original nature. In each system it can only be perceived according to the camouflage patterns inherent there.

Your psychological life is dependent upon your ability to perceive and react to such action-events. [...]

[...] This intensity brings forth the corresponding physical materialization which the senses then perceive, and the circle becomes complete.

[...] Such checking always involves action, however, that already changes that which is perceived. [...]

[...] In a gigantic cooperative endeavor, all consciousness joins together to make the forms that you perceive. Now, because this is known to us, we can change our environments and our own physical forms as we wish, and without confusion, for we perceive the reality that lies beneath.

You accept and perceive and focus upon continuities and similarities as you perceive physical objects of any kind, and in a very important manner you shut out and ignore dissimilarities out of a given field of actuality. [...]

[...] And if you are not tuned into that particular frequency, you will not perceive the physical objects at all.

If you perceived the constant change within your body with as much persistence as you attend to its seemingly permanent nature, then you would be amazed that you ever considered the body as one more or less constant, more or less cohesive, entity. [...]

Such a work would be perceived in your system as one thing, for example, but would also be perceived in probable realities, though perhaps in an entirely different way — a multidimensional art, you see, so free and elemental that it would appear simultaneously in many realities.

[...] They will always be psychic structures, however, existing apart from any given system of reality, but at least partially perceived by many. Some exist in what you might term the astral plane, and you perceive them in visits during the sleep state.

[...] They will be interpreted in various ways, according to the abilities of those who perceive them.

Others are perceived in glimpses or bits and pieces by your temporal mind while you are half-sleeping and half-waking, or in other periods of dissociation. [...]

[...] What Seth is saying is that each of us can reach the inner self, that the Inner Senses help us to perceive other than three-dimensional reality, and that we can get to this knowledge with determination and training. [...] The physical senses help us to perceive the exterior reality that we know. The Inner Senses let us perceive the inner ones.

“The past is no more objective or independent from the perceiver than is the present. These electromagnetic connections that compose the past were largely made by the individual perceiver, and the perceiver is always a participator.

[...] Ego consciousness, on the other hand, involves a state in which consciousness of self attempts to divorce self from action—an attempt on the part of consciousness to perceive action as an object … and to perceive action as initiated by the ego as a result, rather than as a cause, of ego’s own existence.

“The inner self can, indeed, perceive events that will occur after physical death. [...] The inner self can perceive events that will occur to itself after death, and those in which it is not involved.

[...] Early man, again, perceived himself as himself, an individual. [...] He was also aware of the life-force within nature’s smallest parts, however, and before sense data became so standardized he perceived his own version of those individualized consciousnesses which much later became the elementals, or small spirits. [...]

[...] He often perceived what you would call the products of the imagination as sense data, for example, more or less objectified in the physical world.

The imagination has always dealt with creativity, and as man began to settle upon a kind of consciousness that dealt with cause and effect, he no longer physically perceived the products of his imagination directly in the old manner. [...]

It may be difficult for you to understand, but the events that you now recognize are as much the result of the realm of the imagination, as those experienced by early man when he perceived as real happenings that now you would consider hallucinatory, or purely imaginative.

The same atoms and molecules that are perceived in your system as physical objects are perceived in other systems as entirely different realities. Basically the same energy that composes a system projects into other systems, and it is perceived differently. [...]

[...] Again, you merely perceive a small portion of any given action, and when you cease to perceive it then it seems to you that the action itself ceases, and so an artificial boundary is erected.

So, comparing the ball to an action, you perceive but the smallest portion of any given action, even one performed by yourself. It does not occur to you that there is more to perceive. [...]

By now it should be obvious to you that you perceive only a small portion of reality; indeed, that your idea of reality is formed and limited by your perceptions.
